Well it is Sepia Saturday
Today is my birthday.
By the grace of God I am
73 years young.
I tried to dress this sad little picture up to make it a little happier looking.
This is me in 1952 when I graduated from the 8th. grade.
My grandmother, the one I told you was a professional seamstress, made this dress.
The flowers for my hair were from the white spirea bush that grew in my grandparents side yard.
Those are 2 of my best friends in the background.
Now it looks as if I have no arms but I am standing with my hands behind my back and the ruffle on the bodice is huge.
I guess the sun was in my eyes,
This dress was a light lavender organza and I thought it was the prettiest dress I had ever seen.
Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope that all my SS pals did too.
